Why did the establishment shut him down? And why did they do it the first time? Because he's a one-of-a-kind patient. Those types are always welcome back in the system.😉
A few years back, I tried that moon diet thing. As far as I could tell, it was basically just like that Friday post, except it only happened once a month.
That day, I stuck to nothing but water and sugar-free gum, and honestly, I nearly passed out after a couple of attempts. I just couldn't handle it—I'm not built to go without eating all day long. And guess what? I didn't lose a single pound (which was the whole damn point of the diet).
Bottom line: I was being an idiot. But this fruit juice idea? I might actually give that a shot. 👋
Oh, right. Word is she’s living somewhere in the States now with five kids and some husband, I guess... definitely has plenty of stories to tell them, though.... man, if only my mother had been anything like that... 😁 😎
I just read in the papers that there's going to be a premiere at Cannes for a new Gus van Sant film. Apparently, it depicts the final days of a rock star's life, and that star bears a striking resemblance to Kurt Cobain.
Does anyone here know anything about this movie? And when might we actually see it playing in theaters?
Here is the blurb I found online: ...................... LAST DAYS is filmmaker Gus van Sant's meditation on the inner turmoil that engulfs a brilliant, but troubled, musician in the final hours of his life. Michael Pitt (The DREAMERS, HEDWIG and The ANGRY INCH) stars as Blake, an introspective artist who is buckling under the weight of fame, professional obligations, and a mounting feeling of isolation. LAST DAYS follows Blake through a handful of hours he spends in and near his wooded home, a fugitive from his own life. It is a period of random moments and fractured consciousness, fused by spontaneous bursts of rock & roll. Expanding on the elliptical style forged in his two previous films, Gerry and the Palme d'Or-winning ELEPHANT, van Sant layers images and sounds to articulati an emotional landscape, creating a dynamic work about a soul in transition.
Dwarfed by towering trees, Blake slowly makes his way through dense woods. He scrambles down an embankment to a fresh spring, and undresses for a short swim. The next morning, he returns to his house, an elegant, if neglected, stone mansion.
Many People ara looking for Blake - his friends, his managers and record label, even a private detective - but he does not want to be found. In the haze of his final hours, Blake will spend most of his time by himself. He avoids the people who are living in his house, who approach him only when they want something, be it money or help with a song. He hides from one concerned friend, and turns away another. He visits politely with a stranger from the Yellow Pages sales Department , and He ducks into an underground rock Club. He wanders through the woods, and he plays a new song, one last rock & roll blow out. Finally, alone in the greenhouse, Blake will look and listen - and seek release. ..............
So, what are your thoughts on the concept, Gus van Sant, or anything else regarding this subject?
p.s. I would have attached a photo, but I have no idea how.
I just finished watching the first part on HBO yesterday... Does the second part also feature Cassel and Reno? And what’s the deal with those two twins? From what I gathered, the evil one dies in an avalanche while the good one survives.
It's true, though—the first part doesn't really explain why people are being killed or the connection between the twins, the nun, and that finger one has and the other doesn't. 😕
My favorite moment is when Silent Bob tells Dante something along the lines of, "There are many hot girls in the world. But only one is going to bring you lasagna at work." Or something like that. 👍 👍
Hundred Minutes of Glory only picked up an award for cinematography. Did John Doe lean too hard into bias? Or does it just mean his film is way too good for San Francisco?

Nah, just spoilers. I'm good. I don't have an issue with Halle Berry, but Michelle Pfeiffer in Batman is the absolute prototype for Catwoman. She starts off all blue and bland, then transforms into an absolute knockout.
Why not just grab some contact lenses? Then you can wear whatever sunglasses you want. That was actually one of the main reasons I switched from glasses to contacts. During the summer, I was about ready to lose my mind.🥳
I had no idea some guy was doing the voice for Halle Berry... But man, that suit looks incredibly tight!! How can you not see his junk through all that? Whatever. I'm definitely not hitting the theater to see this. Maybe once it hits Blu-ray and has a bunch of bonus features.
My husband owns his entire discography, which means I own it too. He played him for me for the first time a few years back, and I fell head over heels for Drake. I’ve been playing him constantly, and honestly, everyone I play him for just loses their minds. Last summer, I finally read his biography; I actually have the book on my shelf. It’s wild how he was practically unknown while he was still alive—even his inner circle didn't really get him. His live shows were pretty rough, too; he had massive stage fright, would just mumble through things, and sometimes even walked off mid-song. From what I know, there isn't any decent video footage of him performing. Apparently, a documentary was filmed about him, but I haven't seen it. There is some incredible material for a movie here. Hollywood, what are you waiting for?? 🙏 🙏 🙏 🙏 🙏 🙏 🙏 🙏
What I loved about him was how much he just didn't give a damn about anything. It was hilarious when he didn't even bother showing up for his Oscar (can't recall which one it was) and just sent some Indian Girl in his place. She ended up giving some big, dramatic speech to the Academy and everyone fell for it hook, line, and sinker. 🙏 🙏
